In this comprehensive book, he traces Chortkover Chassidus from i ts origins with Reb Dovid Moshe, son of Rabbi Yisroel of Rizhin; to its vast dissemination to thousands of Chassidim in prewar Europe and Eretz Yisrael; from the devastating blows of the Holocaust and its aftermath, through to the present day. The author thoroughly researched the distinguished Chortkov legacy, and its genesis with the Holy Rizhiner. He brings to bear the oral history and written documentation of his heritage.
